THE K20 REVOLUTION HAS STARTED!!!

Htown is the shiznyt! A long time ago someone said that once this swap is finished Htown should be a honorary member and receive really cool member status like "GOD" or something special. This is a petition to those in charge, no one should let this accomplishment go unnoticed. Write why you think this is a big accomplishment and why you want htown to be a honorary member.

well, from meeting aaron i found him as a very humble guy... i know he wants to keep this swap low key and keep the "sleeper" status of his car... i think he did this for his own self-gratification and as a true import tuner and car lover... a true racer always answers "stock" to the question "so what u got under the hood?" i asked him if he's going to enter shows, he said no... he said he was only going to maybe dyno it and take it to the track sometiems to see how it runs... but other than that, we will be hearing about this car mostly on this site here cuz i'm sure he'll keep us updated on his car (especially since he is planning to do many things to it like a turbo)

Perhaps he should change his avatar name to something like 1st7thgenK20 Perhaps we could even arrange some free stickers
On the other hand, let's not go to far. He said himself he wants to keep is a bit low profile. We're all equal here I think.
And I really like the fact that he's keeping it low key. Imagine how many ppl you could surprise at the traffic lights when they say, "Dude you only got like 130 horses, I'm gonna smoke you !!."..... Not !!!

personally, i give props to him for the swap. im not a swap type guy, cause if i had that loot there would be a small block domestic v-8 sitting under the hood (car converted to rwd). i wanna see the power i can get out of a d17a2, so time to upgrade the internals.

IMHO, I dont think there will be to many more people doing this in their 7th gens. $10K is alot of money just for an engine swap. You have to have some guts and alot of patients for this.

Thats awesome that he did it. But if I had 10 grand in my pocket right now, I think I'd be swapping cars instead of swapping engines.
